Zero is not afraid of infinity.

zero isn't afraid of infinity, infinity aspires to be zero, just can't quite get there.

Because 7 8 9

Because zero has AIDS.

Mathematically this might be expressed as 'because zero has AIDS'.

Because as the summation of all integers from 0 to infinity approaches infinity, the summation approaches infinity.

Fuck you, calculus.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

So these philosophers were all like, "That Kant apply universally!" And then these mathematicians were all like, "Oh yes it Kan!"

Well if you put it that way. I'll never mess with infinity again.

Btw, I just learned something new. 0*infinity = well, whatever you want©

I know, I just blew your mind.
Now we know where everything came from.

Because if you multiply anything by zero you get zero!
Which means if you divide lets say 5 by zero you can't get anything that will give you 5 by multiplying it with zero!
Therefore you can't divide anything with zero!
AND CAN'T DIVIDE INFINITY BY ZERO EITHER! FUCK YEAH! I WON!
